Hell yeah, Arnold 🫱🫲 Carl meme but it’s bodybuilders, strongman, powerlifters, Olympic folks, etc, and pre-transition folks all hoping for decriminalized PEDs. Greg Doucette, even though I’m not sure about him when he talks about trans folks in sports, gave me a rhetorical arrow when he talked about cis hormone replacement and bald therapy as gender affirmation care. I’ve never considered that framing before that.

TIL, I figured it was something of a legal gray area. Funnily enough, World's Strongest Man tests for party drugs but not PEDs, as can be seen when Mariusz Pudzianowski popped for something (either cocaine or cannabis) back in 2004. I think it'd be interesting to see how things would shake out if WSM or strongman in general did start testing for PEDs. It'd have to be a new class like how powerlifting does it though to keep the records straight.

Lol, wild. I've been getting into pro strongman lately (the Arnold US and UK both happened in the last two weeks) where it's an often undiscussed thing that they all, men and women, take PEDs. Via their social media, there is nothing but support of the competitors from the competitors and audience. I've read that this is common in amateur strongman and strongwoman too.

So I don't think it's a roid thing. It just seems like a Lance Armstrong is a jerk thing.

Toxic but more like a tummy ache toxic unless you are a child or bug (afaik). It's kinda like how Tomatoes have toxins in their stem and leaves and a tiny bit in their fruit but it's ok.

More like Gatherer Bauer, to fit the convention.

you otter check that camera there

PA, like everyone who lives there calls it in day to day conversation.

Thanks! It even works when you drop the kanji and hiragana into google translate.

Me, who knows no Japanese, wants to know what it says! Let me into the meme! :let-me-in:

Yeah
See folks this is why you don't have kids because it makes you insanely protective.

No thanks, I don’t want my pets/kids eaten by one of these when they’re inevitably pushed out of their forest pocket in some suburb. It’s my only reactionary take that large predators that pose a threat to small children can get on with being extinct.

And he used to have a blog there that I read at least one post of. Maybe these are the actual essays, at least the first one (oldest one) still has the dead Valve Software links: https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/category/essays/valveconomics/
